We're Trans Rescue. We Save Lives.
We are a global, volunteer-run organisation helping transgender, intersex, and queer people escape life-threatening danger and reach safety.
We rescue people trapped in some of the world’s most dangerous environments—including countries where being LGBTQ+ is illegal or life-threatening. To date, we have helped over 186 people reach safety.
We also support people in places that are becoming less safe, helping them plan for relocation before their situation becomes critical.
We don’t just give advice.
We help people get out.
Help me move to safety
If you are facing serious risks because of who you are, we may be able to help you reach safety. The right pathway depends on how urgent your situation is and whether you can relocate independently.
RAPID RESPONSE
Are you in immediate danger?
This pathway may be for you if you are 18+ and at immediate risk of arrest, life-threatening violence, or unable to cross a border because of a serious barrier.
SELF-DIRECTED RELOCATION / CONC
Do you have time to plan your move?
This pathway may be for you if you are 18 or older, concerned that conditions where you live are becoming increasingly unsafe, and have some time to plan your relocation.
You should also have a passport or a way to obtain one soon.
We also offer:
- Guidance and planning support
- Twice-monthly Office Hours where you can get help planning how to get out.
- Resources to help you relocate independently - a wide variety of articles, videos, and our How To Get Out book.
